<p class="MsoNormal">Hello SPLS Faculty<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There was a diverse good group of graduate applications this year. If you are looking to expand your laboratory I hope you had an opportunity to review the applications and/or chat with some of the candidates. As this is already early
March and March break is next week, please consider the graduate candidates you have interacted with and inform me if you are serious about making an offer to a student to join your laboratory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All offer letters have a deadline to accept/decline mid-April so it would be good to get offers out soon so students have time to make a decision.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope everyone is doing well. Take care<o:p></o:p></p>
